I’m really a city boy, so I was surprised to see that radishes grow on cactii.

How come the ones in the store don't have the prickers? Do they remove them before they leave SoCal :)

Some fruits of Opuntia cactus varities are very tasty to eat. Just avoid to touch them without gloves since the fine needles hurt and are hard to remove once they are in your skin.
